Opendoor en el JBW

El domingo 3 de marzo a las 14 horas, lectura y charla sobre Opendoor en el Jewish Book Week. King´s Place, Londres.

An acclaimed new literary voice from Argentina, Iosi Havilio comes to Jewish Book Week to discuss his first novel Open Door, an atmospheric tale of solitude that has been likened to Albert Camus’s L’Etranger.  

When her partner disappears, a young veterinary assistant drifts from the city towards Open Door, a small town in the Argentinean Pampas named after its psychiatric hospital.

Embarking on a new life in the country, she finds herself living with an ageing ranch-hand and courted by an official investigating her partner's disappearance. She might settle down, although a local girl is also irresistible ...

This evocative, atmospheric book makes a quiet case for the possibility of finding contentment in unexpected places, with unexpected people.
